This was a complete disappointment. It was dry, bland (I even added honey & kosher salt), thick, dense, and tasteless. There was no rise to it, and no crumble. Leaving this one off the "make again" list.

I wanted something that wasn't beef or lamb stew, and something different from those styles. This recipe looked really interesting. I made only a couple changes: first I had to lean it down to serve 3 people. Second I wanted to cheapen the cost down by using a lesser cut and cooking itnlonger. I kept the bacon at 5 slices, because we love bacon. Used 3/4 of large onion. 1/2 Green Pepper, 3/4 Red Pepper. 2/3 cup of broth was great for this quantity. As for the pork I used 2 lbs. of pork butt; gristle & fat removed, and cut into 1 inch pieces, and I didn't change the seasoning. I took the cook time to 3 hours to insure that the butt was tender and cooked through. This was a excellent recipe that I had to gear towards my family and costs. I made the Hungarian dumplings and let them cook in the sauce for the last 45 minutes. Definitely a "keeper" recipe and will do this one again. Added to my Comfort Food recipe box!

This was a nice recipe but lacked a little "something." I added saffron and threw in some dry wild mushrooms that I reconstituted the in boiling water with the saffron. Needs an herbal touch, perhaps some thyme and rosemay. I would make it again but with a touch more seasoning.
